As much of the US plunges into a Polar Vortex of freezing weather this Winter, you only have to step into your favorite luxury fashion house to see a #WinterGarden of sorts in full bloom! Floral prints on Winter White leather bags and shoes from the chicest French and Italian houses in 2018. What better way to bring some color in the dead of Winter? These accessories are a gorgeous option to wear with the solid RTW items that have been so on-trend over the last 3 years. Orange Blouse, Green Pants, and Floral bag.. perfection! Gucci, Ferragamo, Fendi, Louis Vuitton, Balenciaga, and Judith Leiber are all in bloom in January.
The idea of fresh flowers in Winter is nothing new. The grandest homes around the world have had Winter Gardens, Greenhouses, and fresh cut flowers year round for centuries. However, it doesn't require a trust fund to have paper whites or an Amaryllis at home, but just imagine the decadence of keeping a full greenhouse of delicate flowers close at hand. What a luxury!
Looking at the different bags and shoes, it's amazing how floral prints can take on such different personalities. Some look romantic, some pop-art, some surreal, some so literal - all unique. Depending on color and style, they can feel very formal, or playful and casual. Which one fits your personality? Which one would you wear to dinner? To the theater? On Vacation?
Click over to the department stores and boutiques that offer these bouquets. Just like with real flowers, you don't always have to buy some today, but they always put a smile on your face! Enjoy!
